TMC questions ECI move to make 2002 base year for roll revision
The Statesman Siliguri
|November 13, 2025
The Trinamul Congress (TMC) has sharply reacted to the new Election Commission of India (ECI) rule on booth level agent (BLA appointments). Trinamul MP Kalyan Banerjee (photo) held a Press meet at Trinamul Bhavan highlighting how the ECI move helps the BJP.

The TMC MP said: "Since the BJP is unable to provide agents from the specific booths in most cases, the ECI has issued a new order favouring the BJP. Now, a BLA can be appointed not only from the booth where the revision is taking place but also from any neighbouring booth within the same Assembly constituency. This earlier stringent rule has been changed just to please the BJP.And within 2-3 minutes of this new order being passed, Suvendu Adhikari posted it on his X handle, welcoming the order. That clearly proves how this was pre-decided. The status of the ECI has fallen so low that it now acts on what Suvendu Adhikari says. The ECI is totally biased."
